Incredibly, we're either already or only approaching the half way mark of our semester. Whether you're feeling more surprised that it's gone by so fast or counting the hours days until spring break, it's a good time to consider whether you want to check in with your students about their learning experience this semester.

Something I always remind faculty I work with about this is to honor your own sense of whether or not you can incorporate any feedback from students at this time. Connecting with your students is a powerful took, and is most successful when you can discuss the feedback you collect with them and actually address any concerns they raise. In a moment where many of us are battling information overload, it can be a good strategy to acknowledge the semesters when you can't ask for more information.

Thought about it and still want to proceed? Here are some resources.

We are passing along this invitation from Hub Affiliate and faculty member Amy Brainer. Thanks Amy, for planning these events!

This three-part podcast club will explore intersections of GenAI with sexuality, gender, race, and disability and is open to all Dearborn students, faculty, and staff.

Like a book club, but with podcast episodes: listen to an episode and then join us via Zoom for a friendly and hopefully lively conversation. Dates, times, and links to register are in the flyer.

This event series was created as part of the GenAI 7-Week Faculty Development Program from the Hub.

All are welcome; I would love to have diverse perspectives from across the colleges as part of these conversations.

Warmly, Amy

We are happy to meet with you for any teaching concerns, large or small, in any modality, whether it's a one-off meeting or longer-term planning. For issues arising in your classes, PBL, GenAI, or anything else, we're here to help!

Questions or comments? Jessica Riviere, rivierej@umich.edu

While the HubCap is designed with our faculty as the primary audience, others (campus leaders, directors, student services staff) may also find valuable insights within.Feel free to forward this newsletter on if you know someone who could benefit from this information.
